A Comparison of Two Pokémon Worlds: How Is Ash a Legendary Pokémon Magnet?!

I'm Ash Ketchum. I made the Top 16 at the Indigo League from the start, but then a mysterious sky screen appeared, revealing a ranking of the ten strongest Legendary Pokemon belonging to another-universe version of me.

NO.10: Alola's original fan favorite, the World Championships champion! A mortal who stands shoulder to shoulder with the gods!

NO.7: The Aura Guardian! Heart and soul in harmony, Mega Lucario! Fists shatter Dynamax, feet trample champions!

NO.3: The Rainbow's Chosen! Master of Ho-Oh! The Sacred Bird as his servant, holy fire purifying the world, divine power boosted by 300%!

NO.1: The Traveler of Time and Space! King of the gods! Dialga leads the way, Palkia protects him, and Giratina is his shadow!

The chat group of Champions and Elite Four members collectively saw their faith crumble!

Cynthia: "I've spent my whole life studying mythology. Turns out it was living next door to him?"

Giovanni: "The power I've pursued all my life is just a toy he casually threw away..." Cold sweat.

When every possible future is mine, I will wield the Creation Trio's Origin Plate and stand astride the Distortion World.

I'm Ash Ketchum, the only legend in this world!
